Hostaway is seeking a highly motivated Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive growth in the APAC market. This hybrid role covers the full lead lifecycle: prospecting new accounts outbound, responding fast to inbound interest, and reviving leads that have gone quiet. We want driven, hungry sales professionals keen to make an impact.

About the role

• Research target accounts and decision-makers in the APAC market, then prospect via cold calling, email or social selling to generate qualified leads.

• Respond fast to inbound leads (demo requests, web enquiries, content downloads, event sign-ups) within agreed response times, then qualify quickly to book meetings where there's a fit.

• Revive previously interested leads (closed-lost, stalled conversations, past demo attendees, dormant contacts), find what's changed in timing, needs, budget or stakeholders, then tailor your messaging to restart the conversation.

• Use CRM notes plus activity history to personalise outreach, avoiding repeat touchpoints.

• Understand prospects' needs, then communicate our value proposition clearly, whatever the lead source.

• Balance daily activity across outbound, inbound, re-engagement pipelines.

Requirements

• B2B SaaS outbound sales experience; inbound exposure an advantage.

• Proven track record of exceeding targets in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.

• Strong prospecting and cold calling skills, with the ability to build rapport over phone and email.

• Able to qualify inbound leads quickly and rekindle cold prospects.

• Highly motivated self-starter and team player who juggles multiple lead streams and priorities with ease.

• Familiarity with CRM (e.g., HubSpot) and sales engagement tools (e.g., Outreach, SalesLoft) a plus.

• Fluent English; a second language advantageous.

What we offer

• Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive pay based on market rates in the country of the applicant.

• 100% Remote: Enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere within your country of residence—be it a co-working space, your home office, or even your dining room table. The choice is yours. Just don’t ask to work in our office (we don’t have one).

• Equity: Every role in our company comes with valuable stock options in a fast-growing and profitable company. This ensures we all share in the company’s success.

• Values-Driven Leadership: Our Core Values are not just words we’ve written to make us feel good. We leverage them daily when making strategic and tactical decisions.

• Professional Growth: Our rapid growth offers unparalleled learning and development opportunities, along with a multitude of career advancement opportunities.

• Annual Paid Leave: The specific amounts vary by country and are aligned with country and/or contract-specific norms.

• Geographic Specific Benefits: As an international employer, we offer different country-specific benefits such as Health Insurance and Pensions in countries where these perks are customary. The specifics depend on the country of the applicant.

• Dynamic Team Culture: As a global company with team members in over 40 countries, our diverse and international culture fuels our innovation and creativity, providing a key pillar to our success (and making it a lot of fun to work here).
